That's part of their training, I think. Storytime!

While touring the USS Christmas Firework Display, I came across a Knight in full armour and a rather nervous Initiate. In order to test her armours repairs before going on duty, the Knight instructed the Initiate to shoot her in the stomach with a laser rifle half a dozen times. When it's done, she tells him that see, there was nothing to worry about, you didn't blow up the airship.

Needing some fresh air (Or just a way to escape should they try that trick again with a gatling laser), I head out to the Vertibird bay. Looking down over Boston Airport, I catch sight of weapons fire. Lots of weapons fire, covering a pretty large area. Jumping over the edge, I do a classic armoured combat drop, only to discover that the airport isn't under attack. Instead, that light show was actually the Brotherhoods firing range. Which is some barrels, and then nothing behind it. The light show reached out across the sea, and came worryingly close to my Settlement at Nordhagen Beach. And the Knight running the circus was going on about 'no injuries' being tolerated on his range.

Alice is not impressed.
